Ingredients
  

2 medium zucchinis, spiralized into zoodles (zucchini noodles)

1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced

1 yellow bell pepper, thinly sliced

1 cup snap peas, trimmed

3 cloves garlic, minced

2 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)

1 tablespoon oyster sauce (optional for added depth)

1 teaspoon sesame oil

1 teaspoon fresh ginger, minced

1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust for heat preference)

2 green onions, chopped (for garnish)

Sesame seeds, for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the Zoodles: Spiralize the zucchinis into zoodles and set aside. You can use a spiralizer or a vegetable peeler to create thin strips if you don’t have a spiralizer.

    Sauté the Shrimp: In a large skillet or wok, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and season with salt and pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes until shrimp are pink and opaque. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

      Stir-Fry the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Add the minced garlic, ginger, bell peppers, and snap peas. Stir-fry for about 4-5 minutes or until the vegetables are vibrant and slightly tender but still crisp.

        Combine and Season: Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet with the vegetables. Add the zoodles, soy sauce, oyster sauce (if using), sesame oil, and red pepper flakes. Toss everything together gently for 2-3 minutes, allowing the zoodles to warm up and soak in the flavors.

          Serve: Remove from heat and garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds. Serve immediately while everything is warm and crisp.
